To use the OSM Service Connection to update the ME firmware for VIO enclosures:
1. Locate the VIO Logic Board: in the tree pane, select one of, depending on the type of server:
• System > Fabric Group > Internal ServerNet Fabric > VIO Module > VIO Logic Board.
or
• System > Group
nnn
> VIO Module > VIO Logic Board
2. Right-click the VIO Logic Board object and select Actions.
3. In the Actions dialog box, select ME Firmware Update and click Perform Action.
4. Monitor the update.
5. Repeat for the VIO enclosure in the other fabric.
Updating ME FPGA
NOTE: For firmware levels, see the NonStop Firmware Matrices document, located in the Service
Information section of the Support and Service collection of the NonStop Technical Library at
www.hp.com/go/nonstop-docs.

enclosure)
ME FPGA (see Caution
below)
SYSnnSAM0437ServerNet Switch (IOAM

enclosures (see Caution
below)
CAUTION: You should not use the Multi-Resource Actions dialog (in the OSM Service Connection)
to update ME FPGA simultaneously on both fabrics, or a system outage might occur.
Use the OSM Service Connection to check and (if necessary) update the ME FPGA for all c7000
enclosures and IOAMs just as you did when updating ME firmware, but choose the ME FPGA
Update action instead.
For information on using the OSM Low-Level Link to update ME FPGA, see the online help available
within the application.
Managing OA Firmware for the c7000 Enclosure
Check the NonStop Firmware Matrices document for the minimum supported OA firmware for
this release.
